Emma Andersen was born on November 9, 1894, in Seabeck, Washington, to Oluf and Hulda Andersen (née Johnson). She was the couple’s fourth child, born into a family already familiar with both joy and loss.

Like her brother Emel, who had been born the previous year and lived only five days, Emma’s life was tragically brief. She passed away on November 30, 1894, at just twenty-one days old. The loss of a second infant child within such a short span would have been a profound heartbreak for her parents.

Emma was laid to rest in Seabeck Cemetery beside her brother Emel, marked by a modest upright granite headstone. Over time, the headstone sustained damage, but in 2025 it was carefully repaired by members of the Elizabeth Ellington Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR), ensuring that her resting place continues to be respectfully marked and remembered.
